  • Personally, I’m happy with both. Lemmy and Mastodon are far from perfect and both feel sorta beta, though Mastodon is further along.

    Search is weak on both platforms, imo, but I expect it will improve eventually.

    You mention favorite counts only being your instance, but same is true for community subscribers here.

    Also landing on other instances from outside links can be confusing to find the same content in your instance (Mastodon and Lemmy).

    Federation does make things more complicated. But it beats centralization.

    In the end, it comes down to your personal end use and preferences.

    Personally, I like Mastodon for conversations and I like Lemmy for community building - I mod !alternativenation@lemmy.world - and that works for me. 💕

    (Though I’d kill for some consistent performance from Lemmy after trying to comment 3 times)
